Sorry for the blog absence.  I went into Christmas panic mode.   Can you relate?  Saturday we went to the mall and it  finally hit me, Christmas is just a few days away!  I know there really is no excuse but it seems like I have been working on Christmas for a long time and it was always some day way in the future.  Well that future hit me on the head on  Saturday!  

Since then I have calmed down some, crossed a lot off the list,  modified the list and accepted that some things are not going to be done in time.    Fortunately, I have something new to show you that I made before i went into panic mode.   

The stamp set, Apothecary Art is a new one from the Occasions Mini Catalog and the label is from the Labels Collection (Framelits).   I think by now the Occasions Mini Catalogs have been mailed out so you can see what theFramelits look like.  They are very cool and I cannot wait to see all the fun ways people are going to use them.  For the background  I did what I call the double folder technique where I used the Framed Tulip TIEF and the Perfect Polka Dot TIEF on the same card.  You can see other samples of this here , here and here.  

I am off to join my fellow citizens at the Post Office.   It will be a party but it means a few more things checked off the list!  Hope your day is fabulous and you are not standing in line at the post office.
